London: Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet believes the fact they are not reliant on one player means the club are better prepared for upcoming challenges as the seasons enters an important phase with the Reds fighting for the Premier League title apart from their visit to Plymouth today for an FA Cup replay and they also face Southampton next week in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.
In 2013-14 the Reds were pipped to a long-awaited first championship since 1990 by Manchester City despite being driven on by a brilliant Luis Suarez at the top of his game.
No stand-out performer This time around there is no stand-out goalscorer but they are still the Premier League's top scorers with 49 in 21 matches. Mignolet witnessed first hand the damage Suarez did to defences in the season they came so close, but he sees a different dynamic this time around. "We were challenging for the title but it was a totally different game and a totally different 11 people," he said.
"Then we were a bit reliant on the individual ability of Luis Suarez to make the difference and score goals. Now, it is more about the whole team, the way we create chances and defend as a unit. We need everybody. It is always better to have a good unit than being reliant on one or two players."
Kop drop points A 1-1 draw at Manchester United saw Liverpool drop to third on goal difference behind Spurs, trailing leaders Chelsea by seven points, but there is also pressure from below with Arsenal just a point back and City and United close behind. "There are six, seven (teams)," added Mignolet.
"People said when Philippe (Coutinho) was injured it was going to be a big blow but we dealt with it. Sadio has gone but we have more than enough players to help each other out," the Belgian added.
